kingys new front end

[Ian]

Kingy - Sorry to tell you but your pressed plates are also illegal.

"Lettering should be black on a white plate at the front and a yellow at the rear.
The background surface should be reflex-reflecting but the characters must not.
There are separate requirements for traditional number plates displayed on vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973.
Lettering and spacing must be of a set size. They must conform to one of the groups shown at:- Number plates fitted after 1 September 2001 or Number plates fitted before 1 September 2001."

As for the location, just done a little reading up. It doesnt have to be front most part or anything like that, so it can technically be in your windscreen. the issue with that is this however: The numberplate has to be easily seen from all front angle and by cameras etc. A windscreen is raked and also reflective so will impede any view of the plate.

You may not get a ticket for it but would give cause for plod to pull you over often and to look at the rest of your vehicle closely. an inconvience in the least.

Also you will not pass mot without a "fixed" front plate
